I love to hear how people are using my deck. Here is a gem from Denise Kaufman:
I want you to know that our band, Ace of Cups, is recording about 33 songs with a wonderful producer for our record label, High Moon Records. Every day before we start recording we have a prayer circle and then draw a card from your deck. It always has a wisdom teaching for us - sometimes very connect to the lyrics of the songs we’re working on. We bring the card into the control room and keep it facing our producer for the whole day.
Our band, Ace of Cups, got together in San Francisco in 1966. We were the first all-female band in the SF scene and loved being part of those potent and glorious times. We played all the major clubs, ballrooms and outdoor celebrations throughout the Bay Area and beyond. Some of our favorite moments include opening for Jimi Hendrix in Golden Gate Park, touring with Jefferson Airplane and opening at Winterland for The Band's very first concert.
Though we arranged and recorded background vocals for various artists (Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Michael Bloomfield and more) we never had the opportunity to properly record our own music at the time. However, some of our vintage live and rehearsal recordings came out on CD in 2003 and have earned us a new network of fans across the globe.
We are now in the midst of recording the Ace of Cups debut album for High Moon Records with our producer, Dan Shea (Jennifer Lopez, Santana, Dusty Springfield, Phil Collins, Mariah Carey.)
